Security on nokia 5300?

I was wondering if its possible to set a password or code on my phone so nobody but me can look thru my phone? I dont want people looking thru my texts,calls and such.
thank..

yes, it is possible. follow the steps below and you'll be able to lock your phone's keypad and you'll ONLY be able to unlock it unless you have the security code.
go into settings > phone settings > turn on security keyguard.
the security number by default on most nokia phones is 12345, and this can be changed from the security settings.
this'll stop anyone who has your phone from reading your texts because they won't be able to unlock the phone without the security code
PS. security code is DIFFERENT from your PIN code.. don't get the two confused.
hope that helped

SECURITY CODE CHANGED IN NOKIA 5300 XPRESSMUSIC

Hey everybody, this is my damn NOKIA 5300 XpressMusic and dont know who changed the security code.
Now I m getting 1dum tension, please help me.
None of the following gets me off the problem:
I need a security code
to switch off
to switch ON/to enter desktop
to connect to computer via PC
to use bluetooth
in fact without security I can't get anything.
moreover the IMIE number is damn confusing it goes under the battery.
Let me see if this is the real support from whole of the NOKIA company!
Moderator Note: IMIE number removed

Solved!
Go to Solution.

You should never post your IMEI number on the internet as criminals can use it for dodgy purposes.
The default security code is 12345, if this has been changed and you have forgotten the code then you will need to visit a nokia care point/service centre.
They will be able to reset the code but you will lose all stored data. They will need to see proof of purchase before performing this procedure to ensure that you are it's rightful owner.
It is not possible to reset it yourself.

Nokia 5300: please help!

i have a problem with my nokia 5300 xpress music phone! I can listen to the radio with my headphones, but when i play my music, it only plays via the loudspeakers and not through the headphones!! i've emailed nokia and they've repeatedly advised me to check that i'm using nokia original accessories and i am using the ones that came in the box! so i duno what the problem is!! is there some setting that i have to change to play the music through the headphones instead of the loudspeakers?? I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out! Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If you haven't emptied your trash while the phone is connected, just re-connect your phone to the Mac and then empty your trash. While you deleted files from your phone's memory card, the Mac actually doesn't delete it until you run the "Secure Empty Trash" command.
hope this helps

Nokia 5300

Hi!
My nokia 5300's manu button and navigation buttons are not working. How to solve this problem?
Thanks,

You could try removing the battery from the phone and leaving it out for at least 10 minutes before trying the phone again. If this does not work then your other option would be to send it to your local Nokia Care Point.

Install games in nokia 5300

hi. i´ve bought a nokia 5300 but i do not know how to install games on ti. i´ve got nokia pc suite 6.8. when i download games there are to files, on with .jad extension and another with .jar extension. help me please!

There's two way:
1-If you've already installed Nokia PC suite, just double-click .jar files then click OK. A Messenger box "Install completed" will go out, telling you that the selected game is installed.
2-(only for Nokia s40 3rd Edition): Connect your phone to PC, select Data Storage Mode. Open your Memory card (Display as Removeable disk in My Computer), then copy .jar game & paste it here (or wherever you want on your card). Using this will save your phone memory (so limited on s40 3rd Edtion phone), but you've to play the game from your Memory card

Nokia 5300 chinese language setting missing

My phone is Nokia 5300 Express Music. The first time i'm using Nokia PC Suite, going to update some software. The software is firewall update. After updated, i realized my phone language setting is changed. Chinese and Malay language is gone and others language like romana, deutsch and something else was appear. I think maybe is the software updated so the language setting also changed. So i might need help to change the language setting back to chinese cause i need chinese language to use for my phone book in chinese words.
Anyone is know about any software to help me fix my problem???
Hope to hear some good advice and help from nokia supporter.
Thanks & Regard!

Your phone was intended for sale in a part of the world other than where you are. The importer/retailer installed the appropriate language packs for you but didn't tell you that this was the case. If you have a gripe against anyone, it's against the importer/retailer.
We can't direct you to the Nokia care points for your country because we don't know what your country is. What you can do is go to http://www.nokia.com and follow directions to support for your country from there.

Nokia 5300 - Hard reset?

Hi all,
I've got a problem with my Nokia 5300 XpressMusic (S40 phone). While searching for a good synchronisation tool (the Nokia Sync isn't really my piece of cake), one of those third-party tools I tried has been able to mess up my phone. The OS and all is still working, only the screen gets frozen during start-up (so I can still do everything, but without visual).
I have had this problem already some weeks ago, but I didn't suspected that tool then. That time, I've sent my phone to Nokia, and they managed to repair it (re-flashing or really resetting it, I guess).
But this time I'm trying to reset my mobile my self (as it takes some weeks sending it to Nokia and repairing it), but I can't seem to find the correct code... I have already tried *#7870#, which does work, but doesn't reset enough to get my phone working again. I tried starting up while holding "green phone" + "*" + "3", which seems to reset something too, but again not enough.
So, if anybody got some other resetting codes, or any other method to reset my mobile (e.g. by remote USB application, I tried OS upgrade, but it hangs at 25%), I'd greatly appreciate that
Thanks in advance,
maleadt

Nokia 5300 ringtone problem

Hi, i recently bought a Nokia 5300, and for some reason, i am not able to play certain ringtones. Most don't work and the error message that it gives me is "File size too large" which i don't really understand.. why there would be a limit on the size of the mp3 being played as the ringtone.. and also, some mp3s, will say "Not allowed by activation key"... any ideas?

It looks more like a corrupt memory card.
Connect the handset to your computer in mass storage mode and recover what you can off the memory card. Disconnect the phone and then format the memory card. Reconnect and copy your data back to the phone.

Nokia 5300 "Error in Connection"

Hi,
I am having trouble with my Nokia 5300 phone recently. At certain places where i stay at, my phone will experiece the "error in connection" problem. I bought this phone overseas and currently use AT&T as my service provider.
At home my phone will show i have reception but when i try calling it will give me "error in connection". I try my sim card on my friend's phone and it works. When he tests his sim card in my phone same error occurs. However, when i leave my home and try to use my phone elsewhere the phone works. It's very annoying because i stay at home most of the time. My phone now is practically useless.
I have read that some 3G signal will disturb the phone with error in connection. However, i don't think 5300 is a 3g phone?
Please help me solve this problem. Thanks!

Hi,
Lets try these workarounds:
Go to Menu>Settings>Phone>Operator Selection> Choose Manual - then phone will scan for active networks in your area, after that pick the right network which you are on.
It might also happen that the connection quality on your area is weak - it will really have a hard time looking up for a signal especially at home. The phone will not compensate though as I have observed that it has a weak internal aerials compared to my 5610 and N96.
I have read that some 3G signal will disturb the phone with error in connection. However, i don't think 5300 is a 3g phone?
3G signal doesn't affect in your phone in anyway. Nokia is only a GPRS/EDGE capable device therefore it is not 3G.
Hope this helps =)

i'm afraid the only way you can regain access to a memory card that you forgot the password to is to format it.
just an update:
i found this useful post by Adamf , it might help you find your password without formatting it:
